Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Colorful Unicorn Poop Meringues.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 215°F (102°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a bowl—glass, metal, or ceramic—whip the egg whites, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks begin to form.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate the sugar while continuing to beat the mixture until it reaches stiff peaks.
Step 4
To ensure the sugar has fully dissolved, rub a small amount between your fingers; it should feel silky smooth, not gritty.
Step 5
If it feels gritty, keep mixing until it achieves that perfect texture.
Step 6
Next, transfer the fluffy egg white mixture into a piping bag.
Step 7
Carefully add your chosen food coloring, spacing the colors evenly and pushing them down the sides of the bag with a butter knife for a vibrant swirl.
Step 8
Pipe the mixture onto your prepared baking sheets, creating whimsical 1 1/2-inch spirals that resemble playful shapes.
Step 9
Place them close together, as they won’t expand during baking.
Step 10
If the meringues look a bit too pale, don’t hesitate to add more food coloring to the piping bag for a bolder hue.
Step 11
For a sprinkle of enchantment, dust the piped meringues with edible glitter.
Step 12
Finally, slide the trays into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and set, transforming your kitchen into a magical confectionery haven.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful results of your baking adventure!.
